UK-EU: Statewatch Analysis: The Mother of all Opt-outs? The UK’s possible opt-out from prior third pillar measures in June 2014 (pdf) by Steve Peers, Professor of Law, University of Essex:

"The Treaty of Lisbon offers the possibility that the UK can decide, as of 1 June 2014, to opt-out of all EU policing and criminal law measures adopted before the Treaty of Lisbon. Since this possibility is attracting discussion as the deadline date comes closer, this analysis looks in detail at the legal framework and practical implications of any UK decision to adopt such an opt-out....

the main practical impact of the block opt-out would be to end the UK's access to policing databases and other forms of exchange of police information, and to terminate the UK's involvement in some aspects of criminal law judicial cooperation, in particular the European Arrest Warrant and the transfer of prisoners."
